Romanian
Romanian passport since January 2019, showing the substitution of Ş for Ș.
Appearance of comma (upper row) and cedilla (lower row) in the Times New Roman font.
In early versions of Unicode , the Romanian letter Ș (S-comma) was considered a glyph variant of Ş, and therefore was not present in the Unicode Standard. It is also not present in the Windows 1250 (Central Europe) code page . The letter was only added to the standard in Unicode 3.0, and some texts in Romanian still use Ş instead.
